WEST AFRICAN PEANUT STEW
Peanuts are the star of this hearty plant-based stew that's inspired by the cuisine of West Africa. Featuring superfoods like sweet potatoes, collard greens, and millet, it uses the humble peanut two different ways: peanut butter to thicken the brothy base, and roasted and chopped, to provide a crunchy contrast to the tender vegetables.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high until shimmering. Add onion, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden in places, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomato paste; cook 1 minute more.
- Add collard greens, sweet potato, peanut butter, and broth. Bring to a boil, stirring until peanut butter dissolves into broth. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are tender but still hold their shape, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve stew topped with millet, peanuts, cilantro, and lime wedges.
WEST AFRICAN PEANUT STEW
A hearty stew that's super-easy to make and great for peanut butter lovers. Can be made vegetarian or with chicken. In a pinch, feel free to use vegetable or corn oil for peanut oil, powdered ginger for fresh, water for stock, etc. Kale works well in place of collard greens.

WEST AFRICAN PEANUT STEW
One-pot meals are staples in Gullah-Geechie households, and this dish is a special one to me. West African enslaved people were brought to the Low Country, and with them they brought their indigenous foods like collards, tomatoes, peanuts and rice. This stew has all of those ingredients, and it's delicious served on its own or over rice.

Add the onion, garlic, ginger and bouillon cubes to the pot and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste and peanut butter. Add 4 cups of water and the Scotch bonnet pepper. Return the chicken to the pot. Bring to a boil; reduce the heat and let simmer 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add the sweet potatoes, tomatoes and collard greens. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes. (Remove the Scotch bonnet pepper if someone has a low tolerance for heat.)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with canola oil or wipe with peanut oil.
- Scatter the onion in the pot.
- Rinse the rice in a strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Tip the rice into the pot, add the liquid, and stir to make an even layer.
- Place the chicken on the rice. Add the bell pepper.
- In a measuring cup, whisk the milk, garlic, cayenne, salt, and peanut butter until the peanut butter dissolves. Pour over the chicken.
- Layer in the tomatoes, sweet potato, and spinach.
- Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
- Use coconut milk instead of milk. Substituting soy or rice milk is also always acceptable in a Glorious One-Pot Meal.
- Substitute a minced jalapeño chile instead of the cayenne. Or use four shakes of red pepper flakes.
- Shrimp and/or scallops instead of, or along with, the chicken taste great, too. Or try tofu (use extra-firm cubes).
- Use sweet or white potatoes instead of rice.

AFRICAN SPINACH AND PEANUT BUTTER STEW
Found online at www.fooddownunder.com, while looking for economical 'African' recipes. Tasty and nutritious, a vegetarian main dish or a good side dish. You could easily add garlic, cooking it with the onions, add some mushrooms, adding with the tomatoes, and I think some chilli, fresh, powdered or flaked, would also add a bit of spice to this very versatile dish!
